Bengaluru: Over two million techies in the Tech Hub of Bengaluru and the Cultural Capital of Mysuru have a new task on their hands as they have to show their forefinger on the left hand that is marked with indelible ink that shows they have voted in the Lok Sabha election, before going on a weekend bash.
IT companies have decided to ensure that their employees vote first and then enjoy the weekend after Apr.18 when Karnataka goes to polls in the first phase for 14 seats. Several private companies in Bengaluru have decided that they will consider voting day as a paid leave only if employees show proof of casting their vote. It was suggested during a recent meeting of HR officials of some companies and the State Election Commission (SEC).
